Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 738

Chapter 728 Surprise

The moment Thor jumped onto the tree stump, he found himself forcibly transferred to another space.

He looked around, surrounded by tall buildings and hurried pedestrians.

Everyone looked very tired.

The scorching sun was shining overhead, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

The noises around were chaotic and annoying.

“Hallucination?” This was Thor’s first reaction.

“No, this should be the Inverted Tree.”

There were benches on both sides of the road, but no one was sitting on them to rest at this time. Everyone was busy as if they were wound up.

Thor walked to the bench and sat down while looking around. He clasped his hands and held his chin.

“The Inverted Tree can copy the world within a certain area, but it is inverted for the normal world.”

Thor closed his eyes, his spirit body shook slightly, and he immediately sensed the inharmonious sense of gravity on his body.

However, Thor did not immediately resolve this inharmoniousness, but let himself stay in this inverted city.

“The last time I came here, it was empty, but now it’s so lively. It seems that all the people in the inner city have gathered here.”

At this time, people on the street were walking hurriedly, and only Thor was sitting alone, extremely active and quiet, forming a sharp contrast.

Thor seemed to be just sitting there, but he was actually observing every passerby.

They looked no different from normal people, and even their expressions were very vivid.

Some were sad, some were anxious, and some were happy.

It was like a real world.

But after observing for a while, Thor found that the scene in front of him was repeating.

For example, a brown-haired man who hurriedly walked in front of him ten minutes ago, once again, walked in front of him with the same movements and expressions.

Thor clearly remembered the appearance of everyone who walked in front of him. Everyone

walked at a different speed, so the frequency of appearing in front of him again was also different.

When thirty-six minutes passed, the last person appeared in front of Thor again.

But this time, Thor did not let him pass, but stood up and stopped him.

The stopped man raised his head in confusion, did not speak, but just stared at Thor.

As the man was stopped, the others seemed to have been touched, and they slowly stopped one by one.

They stopped near Thor, and looked at Thor blankly like the first man who was stopped.

But no matter how many people gathered around, no one spoke.

The extreme movement completely turned into extreme silence in a short period of time.

A scene with a strange atmosphere was formed.

“Let me see where the connection between you is.” Thor broke the silence, smiling at the people in front of him, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

A group of translucent silk threads spread out from his body. These silk threads did not touch the people in front of him, but kept stirring around the people in the clear air.

“There is no destiny line.” The smile on Thor’s mouth slowly disappeared, “Just like the wizard Jonah outside, they are all dead.”

Dead people do not necessarily have no destiny line.

If they can become a relatively stable vengeful spirit, or even a powerful evil spirit, they will have a destiny line.

It’s just that compared with living people, it’s intermittent.

Only the four consciousness bodies raised by Thor have destiny lines similar to those of living people.

“You are not alive, and you don’t have independent consciousness… You are the pollution that appeared in the ancient city of Archester, just like those ash people.”

Thor took back his fate line.

“I saw many people in the ancient city of Archester at that time. They seemed to have turned into monsters in a certain moment. And there was a translucent silk thread on their heads.”

At that time, Thor didn’t know what these thin threads were, and thought they were similar to the strings used to manipulate puppets.

After successfully developing the fate line in his body, he realized that those should be the fate lines that were forcibly pulled out of the bodies of the polluted.

Thor has not yet studied what it would be like if the fate line was pulled out and controlled by others.

But now, these people in front of him may be one of the answers.

The dead without the fate line became puppets that were randomly arranged and controlled inside the inverted tree.

Just like the most common NPC in the game, they don’t even have a line, and they act according to the established settings.

When their established actions are interrupted, they will fall into confusion.

Thor suddenly raised his left hand.

“Snap!”

He snapped his fingers.

A powerful mental wave spread out with the sound.

It was as if the spring breeze rippled the lake water, causing waves.

Everyone who stayed beside Thor was like the lake water, and their bodies twisted like waves.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

From the inside to the outside, the skin of these twisted people burst like balloons and scattered into a ball of gray smoke.

These gray mists seemed to gather and dissipate, and a group of human figures could be barely seen.

But after turning into this ghostly appearance, a little transparent thin line gradually emerged from their heads.

Thor just now completely broke the power that imprisoned these undead and tore off their disguises.

It turned out to be the Ash Man he had seen before.

“Sure enough, the pollution inside Archaster was actually caused by the Inverted Tree itself. At that time, it only affected ordinary people outside in a small range, but now it has become so blatant that it has dragged the entire inner city in? What is the purpose of doing this?”

Thor flicked the Ash Man closest to him, and the latter immediately turned into dust and fell to the ground.

“Dispersed? So fragile? The Inverted Tree can pull in so many souls, but it can’t maintain its strength?” Thor suddenly laughed as if he had discovered someone’s secret, “It seems that what Wizard Jonah said is not completely wrong.”

“There is indeed a problem with the state of the Inverted Tree, and this problem is likely caused by Beth, the dean, and… Char.”

Char, this paranoid man really did something big!

The light around him suddenly dimmed.

Thor was shaken by the alternation of light and darkness, and found that the surroundings had changed from day to night at some point. And the Ash Man who had just surrounded him disappeared.

“Huh? Did you transfer me to this place because I discovered something?”

He looked around again.

There was a bright moon above his head.

There were tall buildings on both sides.

However, these tall buildings were too dense, with almost no space between them.

They formed a circle, surrounding Thor in a small open space.

It was as if they were going to lock him in a cage.

There was also a street lamp on Thor’s left, emitting a dim light.

Unlike the bustling daytime, this night scene was very quiet, with only a few vague footsteps occasionally.

It was like someone was walking barefoot on tiptoe on the cobblestone road.

In the footsteps, you could also hear the sticky sound of flesh and stone.

A trace of fear spread from the deepest part of his mind to his forehead.

The street lamp above his head crackled, the light flickered a few times, and then became dimmer as if the equipment was aging.

Thor looked up and saw that the full moon had turned into a crescent moon.

And in the darkness behind the street lamp, there was a huge shadow that looked like a human being but was five or six meters tall, swaying faintly.

“So many?” Thor blurted out, “What a pleasant surprise!”

He stopped looking around and the moon that suddenly turned round again.

Thor pulled up the cloak behind him and wrapped himself tightly from head to toe.

Two seconds later, the body wrapped in the cloak suddenly shrank!

And from the gap between the cloak and the ground, gray translucent tentacles slowly stretched out.
